le petit déjeuner servit en chambre est assez décevant au vu du prix.

We liked the location and nature.
No WiFi in our pod! This really messed our trip up as we needed to go online and book next leg of our European tour. Also really long uneven steep uphill path to pod.

We loved our stay here! The swiss cabins are beautiful and the use of the spa and hot tub are really nice. Lots of hiking nearby and a great view. The swiss cabins have very odd check-in hours. You can not check in until 5 pm ad checkout is at 1pm. It was really nice on the second day and the staff let us use the facilities while we were waiting for check-in. But I just thought it was worth writing. The place is really beautiful and the cabin was super comfy for 6 people. Just bring your own cutting board and knives because those were missing. Overall really recommended. Also the wifi was good and they allow dogs!
Everything was great! Breakfast could have included eggs or cheese for free, but it wasn't bad to pay extra for those. The yogurts and bread were nice and they deliver breakfast in a cute basket to your cabin.

This property looks like something out of a postcard- it is stunning as is the landscape. Staff are very professional.
We liked everything. If don't have car and staying more than a few nights, it's some effort to coordinate to go to the town by bus to have some meal variety. Restaurants in house are however very good.

The view. The staff are nice.
Not safe road for walking at winter night time
5.0 / 10.0
Breakfast has not much choice. Location was very outskirt. Have to take a taxi or wait long for the bus from the train station. Also had to find your own way and walk up to the hotel. No other way except walking by foot. The hot tub is small and have to wait long for your turn. it only fits about 5 adults. It is only nice for photo taking, otherwise i wont recommend this place.
Accessibility and breakfast

We loved the view and the pod inside was clean, spacious, had all the necessary facilities. The staff was so friendly, kind, and helpful. The stay here was worth every penny and you won't regret staying here. At night, you can see the stars. As someone who lives in the city with all the bright lights, this was awesome to be able to see so many stars. The toilet also had warm water which was so important to me especially during winter season.
The hike up took a while but it was worth it to take in some fresh air and enjoy the views.

there wasn’t any transportation to the pods so we had to walk in the rain for 20 minutes from reception to the pods
8.0 / 10.0
the pod was amazing, located at the uphill requiring around 10mins of walk from the reception. the pod provide tea everyday and we had a apple pie. unfortunately it kept raining during our visit, otherwise the view must be astonishing.
8.0 / 10.0
Views were beautiful, great service and cool experience.
It would be nice to clean the pod plastic so the view from inside is not obstructed by dirt.
25 CHF For food delivery is absolutely ridiculous. We ended paying almost $100 of our currency (CAD) for 1 burger.. and as a customer we are forced to purchase with you since there is no kitchen.
10.0 / 10.0
staying at one of the whitepods is an unforgettable experience. every single detail is thought trough, up from the introduction at the reception, the welcome bag, the carefully prepared whitepod, a handwritten welcome note, the spectacular view from the terrace, amazing staff that truly cares for you and helps you out wherever needed, delicious food, cozy spa & sauna, and great hiking possibilities nearby.
nothing to complain about, would always go there again!
9.0 / 10.0
There was a mistake let the caws escaped from their restricted area, which led to lots of noise.
9.0 / 10.0
Breakfast was amazing. We ordered dinner and it was ok. Very expensive though, not worth the price.
The whole white pod is nice but it’s not luxury and that’s why maybe not worth 500 per night for a basic pod. But the staff and everything was great. Very comfortable and relaxing time spent there. It was hard to get to but that’s ok. The peaceful location was worth jt
Food was overpriced and not that great.
